All taken in Kodak colour, the shots by photographer David Granick show an area already in flux that would see unprecedented growth in the coming years.

That change is captured in a shot of the now-demolished Stifford Estate in Stepney Green, shown here in the year it was completed in 1961.

The modest-looked New Globe pub has now been turned into a hotel, while a general view shot of Aldgate East station captures a changing landscape around the London Underground station including the former department store stape Gardiners, now banished into obscurity.

Meanwhile, a snapshot of 1970s fashion is provided in a building shot shot around the site of Watney market in 1974.
